Tooth fractures: how to recognize them?

22 Jan 2023 | Oral Health

Le tooth fractures are quite common and some are invisible to the naked eye But they can still cause a range of symptoms:

⚠️ Sensitivity To sweet, hot or cold food or drink
⚠️ Pain When biting or chewing
⚠️ Swelling Of the gingiva around the area of the affected tooth
⚠️ Intermittent or continuous pain

The diagnosis of fracture is not always straightforward: the dentist carefully examines the teeth with a special instrument To check for cracks and/or cracked edges.

Fortunately Tooth fractures can be resolved with veneers, crowns, or dental bonding: treatment varies depending on the severity of the damage, and the dentist will recommend the best option for each case!
